Failure analysis of solar wheel broken teeth of wind turbine yaw drives by LI Xuwang, HUANG Chengyan, LI Guifang, FAN Huan, WANG Han, WEI Yufeng

“…By studying and analyzing these patterns, the cause of tooth breakage in the output teeth of the sun gear in the yaw drive gearbox of onshore wind turbines can be identified, providing technical support for the subsequent research and design of wind turbine yaw systems.MethodsThrough physical and chemical performance testing of failed output teeth and SEM fracture analysis, the gear structure design and unit operating status were investigated to determine the cause of tooth breakage.ResultsThe results show that the abnormal decomposition of the martensitic structure on the surface layer of the output tooth resulted in a surface hardness below 58 HRC and a shallower hardening layer depth by 10%, which reduced the surface contact strength of the tooth. …”
